Wiltshire Council has terminated its £150m highways maintenance contract with Balfour Beatty two years early and re-tendered the deal. Balfour Beatty Living Places beat Colas, Ringway and May Gurney to the original job back in 2013 but after a review from the council's scrutiny committee, the contract will be terminated by April 2016. Subcontractor agreements will be transferred to the council on a phased basis over the next six months to minimise disruption. Farrans and Graham are among the contractors expected to return bids by a deadline of 2 October for a £17m scheme to build the Caithkin Relief Road at Rutherglen in Cambuslang for South Lanarkshire Council. Work comprises a 1.5km stretch of single lane carriageway between the junctions of Burnside Road and the junctions of Blairbeth Road, Croftfoot Road, Fernhill Road and Mill Street. Work will take a year but is not expected to start until 2017.
